Love when you gotta take a sidequest while writing a book to segment out and mentally stage an entire shakespeare play purely because The Idea™ was too good and now the second half of the book is entirely different from how you planned it

Anyways, Hamlet played by a set of twins and Ophelia and Horatio being played by their friends that they have homoerotic tension with throughout the entire narrative. And the final duel being the Hamlet that split off from the original until he is killed, when he is replaced by the real Hamlet (the Only Hamlet, if you think about it) and then our survivor being ignored, left alone on the stage to bow separate from the others, not returning at curtains because he simply never existed... Just a thought

#it's looking dire out here gamers #but elliot and elaine playing these two halves of hamlet..the sorrowful and the bitter..the apathetic and the heartfelt...#also one of the hamlets has an unnecessary amount of hate toward polonius to the point that if polonius has zero haters they're dead #if we were villains #<- my fun sequel is starting to become a narrative greater unto itself than one could have imagined it to be #and all this has come about because my brain just thinks in shakespearean english sometimes and that Fucked me in a reference so...#now we're here with the twins consuming too much thought and peter and giselle and rich and monica and tony (poor tony) suffering for it #but by god if this isn't going to be a good sequel And canon compliant #also if the meta about bitb has not influenced the story in a noticable way presume i have died because that is all else i think of #timothy rand is so special to me in such a god awful way i will never not care about him in the same breath i renouce what he has done
